There are many mechanisms for water to move through a membrane. Passive diffusion (osmosis) and facilitated diffusion are common biological processes. Sometimes a fluid like water can be forced through with hydrostatic pressure (water pressure), although this is less common in normal physiology.

What is the driving force in filtration?
Blood hydrostatic pressure
What forces move fluid from intracellular to extracellular spaces?
Capillary hydrostatic force
Which type of muscle is responsible for moving fluids through the urinary system?
Most of the force moving fluids through the urinary system comes from gravity. A set of smooth muscles are positioned around the bladder to help it empty, however.
Which force favors blood filtration?
Capillary hydrostatic pressure and interstitial fluid osmotic pressure
Why does the level of a more concentrated solution rise when two solutions of different concentrations are separated by a semipermeable membrane and when does it stop rising?
The more concentrated solution is hypertonic and osmotic pressure (a hydrostatic force whose sole purpose in life is to make concentrations equal) tends to move solvent into the more concentrated solution. It will stop rising when either a) the solution concentrations are the same on both sides of the membrane, or b) when the osmotic pressure becomes equal to the ambient air pressure.
The chief force pushing water and solutes out of the blood across the filtration membrane is?
glomerular hydrostatic pressure (glomerular blood pressure)
Why hydrostatic pressure is a scalar quantity even through pressure is force divided by area?
I'm guessing that your issue is that force is a vector quantity? It turns out that hydrostatic force is always normal to the surface, so it can be treated as a scalar; only the magnitude is important.
What is the driving force in filtration?
Blood hydrostatic pressure
A solutions osmotic pressure differs from its hydrostatic pressure in that osmotic pressure is the force which pulls water across a membrane resulting from?
osmotic pressure is not the pressure which pulls the water , it is the other way round. It is the pressure with which the water molecule travel across the semi-permeable membrane. Hydrostatic pressure as the name suggests is the pressure due to the "standing column of water and not due to the movement
Resultant hydrostatic force acts through a point known as?
Center of Pressure. CP is located at the centroid on a flat panal or surface.
How does some groundwater seep out of the ground?
hydrostatic force and capillary action
What is the force that causes water and solutes to be filtered by the glomerulus?
Hydrostatic pressure. The vessel draining the glomerulus has a smaller internal diameter than the vessel feeding it. This means that blood doesn't exit the glomerulus as quickly as it enters. This creates a pressure, called hydrostatic pressure, within the glomerular capillaries and that pressure forces the fluids and many solutes into the glomerular capsule surrounding the glomerulus.
What is the force of fluid pressing outward against the vessel wall?
hydrostatic pressure
What forces move fluid from intracellular to extracellular spaces?
Capillary hydrostatic force
Which type of muscle is responsible for moving fluids through urinary system?
Most of the force moving fluids through the urinary system comes from gravity. A set of smooth muscles are positioned around the bladder to help it empty, however.

What force opposes motion in fluids?
Viscous force
